Advanced Methods in Computational Fluid Dynamics
|
|
A CPD course on advanced CFD methods delivered
jointly by The University of Manchester (UoM) and Science &
Technology Facilities Council (STFC) UK. The the first part
of the course will be on turbulent flows (RANS, LES & DNS),
fluid-structure interaction, artificial boundary conditions,
compressible flows and Aeroacoustics. The second (practical)
part of the course will be held at the STFC on IBM Blue
Gene/Q machine. This training is devoted EDFs open-source
CFD solver Code_Saturne.

| Description: |
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is required in many
industrial applications including external and internal
aerodynamics, heat transfer, combustion, aeroacoustics, etc.
It is “therefore”, if not more, at least equally important
as experimental Fluid Dynamics. Direct Numerical Simulation
(DNS) for high Reynolds number flows is highly time
consuming and only possible for relatively simple
geometries. There are many existing turbulence modelling
techniques which allow a significant reduction in this
computational cost. However, different models can provide
very different results for the same problem. The appropriate
choice of a turbulence model, thus requires a deep enough
understanding, significant experience and computational
skills in the field of turbulence modelling. The course will
address the analysis of modern approaches to turbulence
modelling and their applications to the solution of
industrial problems. The course consists of two parts:
theoretical course on advanced CFD approaches and tutorials
with open-source “Code_Saturne” for solving the
Navier-Stokes equations. The main focus of the first part
will be on RANS (Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes) models,
LES (Large Eddy Simulation) and DNS for turbulent flows,
fluid-structure interaction methods, artificial boundary
conditions for compressible flows and aeroacoustics. The
second (practical) part of the course will be held at the
Hartree Centre, on the campus of the Science & Technology
Facilities Council (STFC) Daresbury Laboratory. This part is
devoted to learning how to use the open-source CFD solver
Code_Saturne, which is developed by EDF R&D for solving the
Navier-Stokes equations. Code_Saturne is a co-located finite
volume solver handling any type of mesh, structured or
unstructured. It includes a large range of RANS/LES models
with additional modules for compressible flows, combustion,
radiative heat transfer, magneto-hydrodynamics, two-phase
flows, atmospheric flows. Through various projects, STFC
Daresbury Laboratory have tested Code_Saturne's High
Performance Computing (HPC) capabilities. They also have
excellent training and HPC facilities; the Hartree Centre
currently hosts 16th and 158th fastest supercomputers in the
world (Nov 2012). The course is delivered by the academic
staff from the School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil
Engineering (MACE), The University of Manchester and
researchers from Daresbury labs, STFC. The School of MACE is
a world-class Centre in CFD with the long term experience in
the development of turbulence models and their
implementation to the solution of real-life industrial problems.
